Refrigerator Recycling Program

LADWP offers the REfrigerator Turn-In and REcycle (RETIRE) Program to our residential customers to encourage safe and environmentally friendly recycling of old, energy inefficient refrigerators and freezers. Save energy and money! Recycling an old refrigerator/freezer can help our customers reduce their energy bill by up to $192 per year. Pick-up and recycling services are offered at no cost to our customers, and they receive a $60 rebate.
